Ice skateing uphill

I'm back from wherever I was to post yet again! I find myself smack-dab in the middle of Obama's America and I am concerned. I find many of my friends, family and people I meet struggling daily just to make ends meet. I have been ever spreading the mantra of preparedness and self sufficiency to all who would listen and a bunch more who won't. I find it interesting and disturbing that so many of my fellow Americans have lost the ability to fend for themselves. Not just on the job front, mind you but in the ability to grow a garden and harvest the crops. To be able to harvest fallen timber for firewood. To attempt to fix anything. To try to stretch a few drops more out of what ever.

I remember when I was just a young little fart my Grandparents, who were Depression survivors, had a sign hung on their wall with the following slogan: "Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without!"

Well people? Just how bad do you need the latest iPhone with the time travel accelerometer driven flatulence detector? Lets us all get back to some basics and position ourselves to be ready for the bad time ahead.
